Chief Myers, and Deputy Chiefs Agathon (recently returned), Riza Williams, and Jim Markey we sitting at a table in Sunbuck's gathered there by the news that one of their own had very nearly died...........
The Chief Spoke "Medical says he will pull through, but he was very close to death. They were surprised he wasn't dead when he was brought in..."
It was Riza's turn next " The techs on the docking level said that he entire inside of his pod was covered in blood..."
'It just wasn't his time" Replied Markey...
The lights in the Sunbuck's suddenly flickered, dimmed, then came back on...
And from the area of the juke box came a ......... Bang bang BANG!
An old LPI went out patrolling one day
Upon a sunbucks he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty convoy of screaming xenos he saw
A-plowing through the endless space
Their engines were still on fire and their hulls were made of steel
Their hulls were black and shiny and their hot exaust he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through open space
For he saw the officers coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost officers in space
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their uniforms all soaked with coffee
They are flying hard to catch that convoy, but they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the lanes up in space
On Liberators blowing fire
As they ride on hear their cry
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost officers in space
As the officers loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-flying in our lanes
Then officer change your ways today or with us you will fly
Trying to catch the Devil's convoy, across endless space
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Officers in space
Ghost Officers in space
Ghost Officers in space
The juke box quit playing, but then one more sentence was uttered, made up of different singers voices for each word
" I....Am....Watching.....And...... Judging...."
The bartender dropped to his knees and started praying and saying Hail Mary's
The Cheif asked him why he was doing that
The Bartender replied "I unplugged that machine this morning because it needs repaired"
Everyone looked over at the juke box, which was now dead. The power cord was unplugged and taped to the side of the machine.....
Karl Agathon uttered one word............ "Price"
